Guide To Install Yosemite on HP Laptops with Clover UEFI

[Lukey2k10]

either

*edit, or at least it used to be that way.. you can edit it in text edit or Xcode if your having trouble with cc..
I used to just use the magic wand button in smbios section of cc.

in text edit, section is at bottom "<key>SMBIOS</key>"

I think they're both correct? Not sure but It was early in the morning!


I also just used the magic wand on my previous hard drive and it worked fine. It's just this time it won't boot whenever I change the Smbios, whether that's using the magic wand or manually editing it in textedit or something similar.

The former. It's only a document file.

It hangs on 'Found unsupported chip ID=0X701' which I *think* is possibly an incorrect config.plist? Couldn't really find much on that particular ID=0X701.

This is the Smbios that gets created with CC.

Post troubleshooting files.

Post troubleshooting files.

Done.

 

[nguyenmac]

Done.

Why are you copying config.plist from USB to EFI partition? I don't remember ever writing this in the guide.

Why can't you remember to press F4 at step 11?

Why do you select "Patch DSDT Only"? Do you read the description?

Recreate config and patch dsdt correctly before changing SMBIOS.

Hey, I'm on 10.10, installed a new clear system, 2570p. BT (BCM 20702A3) and WIFI (BCM4352) working fine. My Problem is with Handoff/Continuity, can't activate it. Airdrop etc. all working fine. 5GHZ too

i tried the Continuity-Activation-Tool-master but it didn't work. Is there any incompatibility with HP BIOS?

Or any other idea why it's not working?

Continuity (SMS/Call) will work.
Hand off won't work because that is not Apple-branded card.
